In a shocking incident, multiple gun shots rattled Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump's campaign rally in USA's Pennsylvania on Sunday morning (IST). Although the 78-year-old did not suffer any major injuries, blood was seen dripping down Trump's face as a bullet brushed past the top of his right ear. The world is still reeling after what is being perceived as a possible assassination attempt on the former US president.
In the aftermath of the attack, what seems to be intriguing netizens is an episode from the famous sitcom 'The Simpsons' - which, as per many social media users, had predicted the attack on Donald Trump.
The show 'The Simpsons' is known for its accurate predictions of important (sometimes infamous) real-world events. Therefore, netizens couldn't help but speculate the possibility of another uncanny Simpsons prediction, this time involving the attack on Donald Trump.
"The Simpsons’ prediction for 2024: In an episode from 1998, they predicted an economic crisis, nuclear war, the death of President Donald Trump, and the appointment of a woman as president. The Simpsons know… they don’t predict; they tell us the truth in advance. Is this our future?!", an 'X' user wrote.
